my latest (almost) finish--get your sunglasses!

I've been saving strings since I started quilting 7 yrs ago. when i couldn't get to my Accuquilt because of the overflowing bags, I sorted them into brights, darks, lights and neutrals. I had a ton of black and this wild circle backing from my oops on the Display Challenge quilt for the KC Regional Quilt Fest. This is the result--I used Marathon Thread #50 trilobal gold for wild feathers in the brights and SoFine #50 black for Welsh border ruler work in the black. Now to get the binding on. this goes on my bed even though the DH is saying it's too bright to sleep (like that would stop him!)[ATTACH=CONFIG]580525[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]580526[/ATTACH]

Lots of strings make a pretty quilt. I like the backing too.

Fantastic! Love the strings, the black, and your quilting!!! And, the backing is dazzling! Flip that baby over and show that fabic on your bed! Your hubby will see spots until he falls asleep! Really, I love your backing fabric. So proud of you for not cutting it up into smaller pieces.

i love this!! i love scrsppy & black my fave color. almost all of my quilts will have black in them somewhere. my hubs would say same thing about the brightness as he lay down & immediately started blowing the roof off with his happy snoring :)

That's a great one!! Glad you can now find your Accuquilt. I just bought one and love it!
Your husband's comment made me laugh!! :)

Wow, I really like it and the backing is great.

Stunning. You have a lot of patience. Thanks for showing us.

Those brights look great paired with the black. And what awesome quilting!! WINNER!

GingerK 09-14-2017 06:42 AM

Beautiful!! I love all those brights and your quilting is amazing!

SewHooked 09-14-2017 07:34 AM

The bold black stripes are a bit overwhelming. They almost block the eye from what's behind. You have such beautiful colors. I think would have chosen a softer color, and made the strips, perhaps, a bit thinner. Your backing is absolutely wonderful!

Faintly Artistic 09-14-2017 11:15 AM

Very cool! Just sorted/cut my scraps and the string container is getting full, so I've been looking for string inspiration!

lynnie 09-14-2017 01:14 PM

love that backing. I love it and don't think it's too bright.

jlt37869 09-14-2017 01:51 PM

Awesome quilt.

Sarint 09-14-2017 02:03 PM

I love the bright colors!

Tweety2911 09-14-2017 02:27 PM

Wonderful quilt! Love the backing fabric, it goes perfectly with your quilt top!

Jingle 09-14-2017 03:22 PM

Not a thing wrong with the brightness. Not every quilt has to be boring.

It is a beautiful quilt and will be really great in the gloom of winter. You did a great job on it.

joyce888 09-14-2017 05:47 PM

I think its pretty and I love the backing fabric.

greaterexp 09-14-2017 06:04 PM

What a "wow" quilt you've made! Great!

ArtsyOne 09-15-2017 03:53 AM

I think its beautiful! It would look great on my red bed - just in case your husband prevails, keep me in mind.

QuiltnNan 09-15-2017 03:56 PM
